Australian Mineral Discoverers - Personal Stories of 65 Geoscientists in Their Search for the Pot of Gold
Author(s): Ross Large, Anthony Hope, John Hill (editors)
Outstanding geoscientists resemble a first-class poet, painter, architect, mechanical inventor, medical scientist; all have creative minds, ana all are explorers. They have to explore, with their mind, a subterranean world that was slowly taking shape long before human beings existed. They have to work out how fire and water, land and sea, created or altered huge mineral deposits. They guide the expensive task of drilling deep holes to test whether their hypotheses are correct: often they are not. Failure is a memorable teacher.Geoffrey Blainey AO
